Car/race themed music...
I was going to use a car themed song on my video's until I found out as of 1/1/23, the time for a song becoming "public domain" went from 50 years to 100 years!! Likely because all the great songs are from the 60's and 70's!
So I'm starting a post for fun, with links to driving, racing and car songs/videos.... please feel free to add your favorite! I was going to use "Fuel" since I'm a metal head, but here's one my wife told me about... I'm not generally a Queen fan, but this one I can't get outta my head now....
"… Told my girl I'd have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So, she made tracks, saying
"This is the end now"
"Cars don't talk back"
"They're just four-wheeled friends, now""
"I'm in Love With My Car"... ;)

Also a metalhead, so these are the ones that came to my mind...
Helloween - Steel Tormentor

White Zombie - Black Sunshine
Probably my favorite car themed songs:
The first song that comes to mind for me is, "Jerry was a Race Car Driver" by Primus.
- YES! My buddy plays bass in a 90's cover band and only sings one song. This is it. Plus, Les is an effing genius. Got to meet him once. — FeralPatrick
Glad to see I'm not the only metalhead here. Great picks, one and all (especially the Fu Manchu, love that band).
Wild stuff bro's, more car themes songs than I thought

we would drop in this in the tape player as we rolled in to the track with the dirt car
traditions!
I find this very apropos for modifying cars
- I love Cash, this is a classic — G_ForceRacing
- Love That song! Hear it every one in a while on the Country station. — Bent_Rod_Racing
My favorite car song since I was a teenager...
Working in the high end car biz, I've played this song while driving many genuine classic and exotic cars over the years.
- love this one! Sci fi and hot sports car, can't beat it — G_ForceRacing
- Some great memories from high school with this song as the soundtrack. — RayRaySugar
ok here's the song thats over 50 years old, wanted to use a cut from it before I found out about the public domain law change....
Nice one, G_ForceRacing! The driving beat is undeniable but the lyrics are almost comical. Very obviously written by someone who knew more about drugs than they knew about cars (Iol).
A few more, old school cuz I'm old haha!
